Paypal - payment without account

Question

I need to integrate paypal into online store..

Requirements - All credit cards (secure) details should be inputed on PayPal site - User do not need paypal account

So there is couple ways of integration

1. Standart IPN - when you redirect user to paypal site and he use his (or create new) paypal account and than redirected back to site
2. PayPal Payments Pro - user input his details including credit card number on my site(and I make payment using API)

But is there a way where I can redirect user to paypal site and he just input a credit card number and redirected back.. So user input just credict card number and that it is - he do not need a paypal account or fill any other fields.. Does it possible?

Answer 2

I am experiencing the same problem as you, and would like to put my findings on record. With Website Payments Standard, depending on which country your user selects, he/she may or may not need to create a PayPal account. These are the three most typical form submit buttons that he/she may encounter:

Case 1:
Review and Continue
No requirement to create an account
Countries: US, Australia, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Taiwan

Case 2:
Continue
A so-called optional account is created for you, and you will need to register a PayPal account after 10 transactions.

You will only be able to use PayPal via PayPal Account Optional for up to [10] transactions before we will require you to open a PayPal account with PPEL to enable further use of the PayPal system. At that point you will be required to enter into our standard user agreement to govern the ongoing relationship with PayPal.

Countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, United Kingdom

Case 3:
Agree and Create Account
You must create a PayPal account to transact.
Countries: Albania, Algeria, China, Ecuador, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, Vietnam

Although most credit card processors require only the card number, card verification code and at most the card expiry date, PayPal requires that address and contact number be provided. I am not sure how PayPal is going to enforce the accuracy of such information without also being a card association. If you get what I mean.
